Chapter 1625 – 1625. The Plum Blossom Swordsman Reincarnated Into The Baek Family
-Kkyaaaaaaak!
The black dragon’s scream echoed through the space.
I frowned. If you listened closely, you could hear two screams overlapping.
‘I roughly get the picture of what happened.’
The black dragon used magic. A giant hand was created, grabbed the meteor sword, and threw it at me.
I stopped the meteor sword, which was flying directly at me, with telekinesis. The distance between the meteor sword and me was only 50cm. If I had been a little late, my head would have been pierced by the meteor sword. I flicked the meteor sword with my finger. The meteor sword shattered and disappeared.
“Sharnel. What happened?”
I approached Sharnel, who was sitting on the floor, and asked. She wiped the blood flowing from her mouth and nose with a handkerchief and glared at the black dragon. The black dragon was flying as high as possible, focusing on recovering from its injuries.
“We were about to win. Thanks to your efforts, the Demon King was gradually losing his powers. We were pushing the Demon King, and he was busy defending. But five minutes ago, Leosio woke up. The Demon King forcibly woke him up.”
“So that black dragon is Leosio. Could it be that Leosio’s evolution is over?”
My expression hardened.
Wasn’t the whole point of fighting the Demon King and going to the Demon Realm to stop Leosio’s evolution?
I had no idea how strong the evolved Leosio would be.
“That’s not it. Leosio felt like he was forcibly awakened. The Demon King abandoned Kyle’s body and possessed Leosio.”
“So, he possessed Leosio’s body because his powers were disappearing and he was about to lose.”
Leosio’s sudden awakening must have been because his powers were disappearing. He had been maintaining his powers to evolve Leosio.
‘Leosio failed to evolve, and the Demon King possessed Leosio to avoid the worst-case scenario. If I think of it that way, it makes sense.’
Two voices echoed from the black dragon.
-Leosio! You must kill that guy right now! Unleash your breath!
-Shut up, Asterix! The injuries come first! You must heal the injuries first! Use the power of healing!
-I can’t use my powers. That guy massacred the demons of the Demon Realm! I have almost no powers left to use!
-Then at least use impure mana to assist me! You useless thing!
-Leosio. Don’t cross the line. After all the help you’ve received from me, is that how you talk?
-If you had done your job properly, I would have already achieved immortality! What else do you have left after losing all your powers?! Living in my body like a parasite? Ha, just thinking about it is disgusting!
-…Shut up, Leosio. I’ve lost most of my powers, but I still have some left. And the demons will be reborn. There’s still a chance for both you and me.
-That’s only if we can survive here. Damn it. How did things get so twisted?!
-Dodge!
Yuria swung her dagger at the dragon. A huge shadow slash aimed for the dragon’s torso.
A funny situation unfolded. The dragon’s wings were trying to fly to the right, but its torso was leaning to the left. It couldn’t fly properly and was hit by the shadow slash. A large amount of blood poured from the dragon’s body.
-You idiot! Don’t interfere with my body!
-I tried to move because you were too slow to dodge!
-This body is mine! I know and can move better than you, who’s trying to parasitize my body! You should use impure mana to cast dark magic and keep those guys in check!
-I don’t know magic.
-Then use your powers! You useless bastard!
-…I think we need to review our contract after this is over.
The dragon used its powers. A water cannon poured out in a straight line. Its target was none other than me.
‘A water cannon. How absurd.’
It was either a ploy to make me lower my guard, or that was all the power it had left to use. One of the two.
‘The speed at which it’s being fired is slow, so I can just dodge it….’
Sharnel was by my side. Sharnel in her current state couldn’t even properly cast magic.
‘It’s annoying to dodge while carrying her.’
I used telekinesis. It blocked the front like a shield. The water cannon couldn’t pierce the telekinetic shield. A puddle of water formed on the nearby floor.
-Rise!
The puddle of water rose up, taking the shape of soldiers. Soldiers with water armor and water spears. Five soldiers charged at me.
“Get lost.”
I stomped on the ground. A shockwave burst out in all directions, blowing away the water soldiers. Not a single drop of water remained around me.
“Demon King, Leosio. I don’t care what state you’re in. What’s certain is that I’ll be more comfortable if you die.”
I summoned five giant meteor swords in the air. The meteor swords flew towards the dragon in different directions.
-You useless thing! You control my body!
Leosio, who had handed over control of the body to the Demon King, used magic. He drew a magic circle using both the impure mana and pure mana that still filled this space. Black flames and white cold air poured out of the magic circle at the same time, filling the surroundings.
The meteor swords couldn’t penetrate the flames and cold air and were deflected. Even though I could see it clearly, I didn’t understand the principle at all. Of course, I wasn’t interested in the principle.
‘That’s some dragon-like magic skill, called the manipulation of magic.’
But that didn’t mean I thought I would lose.
Yuria wasn’t the only one here. Elena was here too.
The dragon’s attack began. White cold air, black flames, and dragon breath poured down on me.
Elena’s blue butterflies fluttered in the air.
The dragon’s attack veered off course. At first glance, it looked like the dragon had made a mistake and narrowly missed, but in reality, it was Elena’s illusion technique.
-Something’s wrong.
The Demon King immediately recognized Elena’s illusion. You could say he had good instincts. Elena’s illusion was subtle, so it wasn’t easy to recognize immediately. Most people would get severely hurt before realizing it. There were many cases where they didn’t even realize it after being hurt.
-It’s an illusion! That woman is casting an illusion! It seems to be a type of magic…. It’s a magic I’ve never seen before. Could it be that there’s magic that even I don’t know…! Asterix! We must kill that woman first! That woman is confusing our eyes and ears!
-If we can kill her, it’s best to kill her. But… Kuaaaak!
-Aaaaaaak!
The dragon screamed. It was because Yuria had climbed onto the dragon’s back and attacked. The price for not noticing that subtle attack was great. The dragon’s left wing was cut off and fell to the ground.
The dragon rotated its body and extended its front paw towards Yuria. It was far too late. Yuria was already falling away from the dragon. A shadow rose up and enveloped Yuria’s body.
-Kuaaaaaak! How dare these things!!
Leosio, enraged, drew magic circles as if he had gone berserk. Hundreds of magic circles were drawn simultaneously in various places in the space. All the impure mana and pure mana in the space fluctuated.
-Calm down, Leosio! Have you forgotten the importance of this space? If this space is destroyed, you won’t be able to achieve your goal. Is that okay with you?
-Kueeeuk! So, are you saying we should just let them defeat us like this?!
-First, use magic to catch the falling body. Then, concentrate our firepower and reduce them one by one. Starting with the most troublesome illusionist….
I used telekinesis to fly through the air and rushed towards them. There was no reason to listen to their words until the end. The dragon flinched in surprise, not expecting me to fly right in front of it, and opened its mouth. Breath poured out. The firepower was weaker compared to a properly aimed breath, but it was still breath. I couldn’t ignore it. It was difficult to deal with the dragon’s breath with telekinesis.
A blue butterfly fluttered beside me. I decided to trust Elena.
The breath that was pouring down on me turned into pink cherry blossom petals. The cherry blossom petals scattered, creating a spectacle. In this urgent situation, the dragon’s head turned towards the scattering cherry blossom petals.
-Beautiful…!
-You crazy bastard! Dodge! With the enemy right in front of you, where are you looking… Aaaaaaaak!
The blade of the Flower Flame Flying Dagger pierced the dragon’s right eye. The dragon writhed. Numerous magic circles were drawn in the air. When all those magic circles manifested, the surrounding mana began to vibrate. This space, more than any other place, was a space filled with mana. It was inevitable that it would be immediately affected by the magic.
“We have to finish this!”
Priscilla shouted. She was sweating profusely, reverse-calculating the dragon’s magic circles. But it was not very effective. It was like trying to solve the magic one by one, unlike the dragon who was spewing out magic circles haphazardly. There was bound to be a difference in speed.
‘I don’t have time either. I have to end it now.’
The effect of Devotion would soon end.
I had to end it now, while I had the upper hand.
‘Meteor Sword.’
Five swords created in the air fell like lightning on the dragon. It tried to block them with magic circles, but it was useless. The five meteor swords, moved by telekinesis, pushed through the repulsion of the magic circles and fell.
-Are you going to die like this!! Asterix!! Use your powers!
-It’s a forward-facing power! I’ve guided your magic in a forward direction. This should have increased the output by one level! You’ll be able to withstand it!
Not only that. The Demon King used the power of the water cannon again. The water cannon tried to block the falling meteor swords.
‘He’s trying to create an opening. A moment’s opening where he can avoid the meteor swords.’
I focused even more and put more power into the meteor swords. The dragon’s magic circles clung to the meteor swords and corroded them. One by one, the meteor swords disappeared.
And Yuria moved.
Charrrrrrrr.
Dozens of shadow chains shot up and wrapped around the dragon’s body, which was distracted by blocking the meteor swords. The dragon, instantly restrained, was flustered.
-The flow of mana has been cut off! Asterix! Do something about it!
-There are no powers that can be effective in this situation… We’re finished here.
The Demon King gave up.
It was so clean that I was more surprised than he was.
-You incompetent bastard! Find a way somehow!!
-We failed, and we’re just paying the price. We bet everything and failed. Then we have to accept it. Leosio. You’re too pathetic.
-You son of a bitchhhhhhhh!
Yuria’s dagger pierced the dragon’s back. A giant shadow blade popped out of the small dagger and pierced the dragon’s body.
I discarded all the corroded meteor swords and summoned a new one.
Pajijijik.
A meteor sword imbued with lightning fell like a meteor and pierced the dragon’s body. The shadow chains broke, and the dragon’s heavy body couldn’t withstand the shadow chains and crashed to the ground.
